Oom Charlie's childhood was one marked with chaos, child neglect and elder sibling abuse. When he grew older he decided to confront the powerlessness he suffered as a child by becoming a train policeman. He thus offered protection to others that he never experienced. Having his mother die at a young age and being replaced by an uncaring step mom made him experience abandonment and child neglect. These painful feelings inspired him to start up a HIV/AIDS home base care, whereby he could nurture and attend to sickly patients that really needed it.
